Any thoughts on the new Azerite Traits?
Burst of Life now giving the 20 sec off Life Cocoon?
Secret Infusion with it’s stat buff based on Thunder Focus Tea Use?
Will you be getting these traits?
If Burst of Life stacks, Life Cocoon can be down to a 15 second cooldown in PvP, which is huge.
I don’t think secret infusion will be that great, but I am probably wrong here.
There’s no way burst of life will stack. Our honor talent however, is getting changed to reduce the cooldown by 45 seconds, so we can have our cocoon down to a 55 second cd again.
I think you are right here, if anything the heal portion will which isn’t terrible. The CD reduction by that much would make monks impossible to kill in pvp.
Secret Infusion seems very good to me, it also probably doesn’t stack because an increase of 1152 for 10s every 30 seconds also seems way too strong.
I imagine BIS is stacking overflowing mists, which seems to be on most of our gear and then mixing secret infusion, burst of life, and misty peaks for pvp. But I’m a sub 2k monk so take everything I say with a grain of salt.
honestly, we’re still going to be very killable. They still haven’t fixed the many flaws with the spec. All it takes is one stun and we can be gib killed… They’re buffing stuff on us that isn’t really needed, and ignoring the things we do need… while not nerfing down some of the things that are obviously overtuned. Just given up trying to reason blizzard because they seemingly have the PvP community on ignore. I’m at the point where I let my sub expire and I’m wondering why I didn’t do this long long ago.
From my long experience with Blizz, the PVP community is usually ignored in favor of PvE. But this expac feels a lot worse in that regards. I didn’t play in Legion, but the RNG gear from that expac wasn’t well received. No idea why they would continue with something that clearly didn’t work.
It’s worse this expansion. At least in legion they had stat templates to stop gear from really mattering, so the RNG gearing wasn’t as egregious… but they removed that this expansion… and kept the RNG gearing… It’s to the point that when I heard that PvErs were getting those vendors and PvPers weren’t, i just kinda snapped and just said screw WoW and all blizzard games. Just done with the company as a whole.
it’s an overall Nerf … if you think this is bad … there seems to be some bugged stuff … once fixed … get ready for a total of 4k dps drop
MW losing snare removal on torpedo hurts more than it should. Still a strong build, but no power to escape the Fury God’s now.
